What was the point of Johnny Curtis's buildup?

The wwe spent so much time building Johnny Curtis up, just to have him get destroyed in his first match.
What was the point to building him up, just to destroy him?
They could have done without all the promos if they were just going to make his lose right away.
Do you think the wwe messed up with how they handled Johnny Curtis so far?

Agree. I thought they could have booked and built him better after weeks and weeks of promo cutting leading to his debut match, I mean instead of squashing him at least make him look like a credible threat but they didn't even do that. Hopefully they book him better in the weeks ahead or else pushing his promos would have been meaningless.

People in the WWE think that Johnny Curtis is the next Davey Richards? No,
way that's laughable, I fathom to imagine that. Johnny Curtis being squashed
by "The Worlds Strongest Man" Mark Henry isn't anything to be ashamed of,
right now Mark Henry's in his "super push" on Smackdown he's taken out the
Big Show, Kane, Wladimir Kozlov and he defeated Sheamus at SummerSlam
I wouldn't be surprised if, Mark Henry is the person who beats Randy Orton in
the WWE on Smackdown and is crowned new World Heavyweight Champion.

What's the point of half the **** WWE does when it comes to something that doesn't have their undivided attention....like this whole season of NXT?

My guess is they didn't want to put any effort into it, so they told Curtis to figure out his promos for himself, and then when they brought him on TV for a match, they decided they wanted to just make Mark Henry look powerful so they figured they could job him out and it wouldn't matter. Now he'll just be wrestling on Superstars or something, unless they decide to take 10 minutes to think of something for him to do.

Possibly Johnny Curtis and Sheamus working together to defeat Mark Henry?

Johnny Curtis may of had the worst build up ever with the dumbest promos ever.
